About

Peter has been working to develop Internet based tools for government since 1994. He was largely motivated by the potential of distributed information sharing in the early days and lead a number of government of Canada projects exploring this potential.

Currently he responsible for the strategy, analysis and implementation of collaborative technologies at NRCan including a resource wiki, a social networking tool and blogs to name a few. Peter likes to challenge the norm and is interested in the cultural impacts of open technologies as well as collaborative approaches in bureaucratic settings and would like everyone to know that government bureaucracy can be innovative and… open. Peter looks forward to exploring the use of these tools for engagement of ‘stakeholders’ and citizens over the next few years.
